Dame Dash has said he’s “happy” about Cam’ron and Ma$e rekindling their friendship and finding success together.
During a recent interview, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder reflected on previously managing the two Harlem rappers and praised their rapidly-rising sports talk show It Is What It Is.

“You know how happy that makes me? You know I used to manage them?” he said when asked about Cam and Ma$e’s repaired relationship. “To see this and them realize their potential, I always wanted them in front of cameras.
“Regardless of [bagging a bag], I’m just saying that they happy and that they finally gained the credit they deserve and it had to happen — pause — coming together and just being friends.”

He added: “And that’s all we’ve ever been. But Cam’ron, and to see them get the credit and do life after Hip Hop, that’s what I love to see.”

Ma$e isn’t the only rapper Cam’ron has mended fences with. Appearing on Million Dollaz Worth of Game in August 2022, he credited Dame Dash with inspiring him to squash his beef with JAY-Z.
“I was caught in the middle to be totally honest with you, because I didn’t want Dame [Dash] to feel a way,” he said. “I know they was going through they thing, but Dame had did something on the internet to where he kind of apologized to JAY-Z. … I was like, ‘If that’s where he at, cool.’
“Jay called, he’s like, ‘Yo first of all I want to tell you I got respect for you,’ and I’m like, ‘Same here bro.’ Shit ain’t no big thing, man. We talking about some shit, fucking 12-13 years old. I’m straight. … We just showed our love for each other, and we kept it under wraps.”
Sitting down with All the Smoke last year, Dame Dash revealed that Cam’ron was shot in 2005 over his role in the movie Paid In Full.

“Cam went through a lot, you know he got shot over that role in Washington,” Dame said. “Yeah, that was over that. He’s never told his story, but there was times I hadn’t really realized what happened I was asking him to do another role once and he was like ‘yo bro I got shot over that role.’
“There was a certain scene where he was like ‘I don’t wanna do that scene.’ So when I found out I felt a little responsible and I didn’t wanna put anybody in that position again. Cause people take this story really serious. So it has to be really done completely correctly.”
